Washing machine

Abstract

The invention relates to a washing machine comprising: a casing having an input port formed on a front surface thereof and through which laundry is inputted; a tub which is disposed in the casing to contain fluid and has an opening formed on a front surface thereof, which communicates with the input port; a drum which is rotatably disposed in the tub and contains the laundry; a pump which pumps water discharged from the tub; a gasket which communicates the input port and the opening of the tub and has a plurality of nozzles provided in an inner circumferential portion thereof for spraying water into the drum; and a nozzle water supply conduit which guides the water pumped by the pump to the plurality of nozzles, wherein the nozzle water supply conduit comprises: a transfer conduit which isdisposed in an outer circumference of the gasket and into which the water pumped by the pump flows; and a plurality of nozzle water supply ports which are protruded from the transfer conduit and supply water guided through the transfer conduit to the plurality of nozzles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine having a nozzle spraying water discharged from a tub and circulating along a circulation duct to a drum. Background technique [0002] In general, a washing machine is a device that separates pollutants from laundry by using chemical decomposition of water and detergent and physical action such as friction between water and clothes, bedding, etc. (hereinafter, referred to as "clothes"). [0003] Such a washing machine includes an outer tub containing water and a drum rotatably installed in the outer tub to accommodate laundry. A recent washing machine is configured to circulate water discharged from the tub using a circulation pump and spray the circulated water into the drum using a nozzle. However, since such a conventional washing machine often includes a single nozzle or two nozzles, spraying directions are restricted not only when a single nozzle but also when two nozzles are provided, so that la...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the worker should tighten the binding members one by one, the time required for the operation increases

[0008] In addition, since the portion of the gasket covered by the binding member should protrude outside the gasket more than the width of the binding member, when the nozzle water supply conduit is coupled to the gasket, due to the amount of protrusion of the portion covered by the binding member As a result, the nozzle water supply conduit has to be bent, so that flow resistance of the fluid flowing through the nozzle water supply conduit is generated, and therefore, water cannot be uniformly sprayed into the drum from the nozzle.
